RIVERSIDE, Riverside County, Calif., Nov. 3, 2026 — One person was hurt on Tuesday afternoon, November 3, when a crash involving multiple vehicles ended with an SUV rolling over on eastbound SR-91 west of Van Buren Boulevard, according to the California Highway Patrol.
The crash was initially reported as a two-vehicle collision before logs indicated a third vehicle was involved. Radio traffic described a black SUV flipping several times before landing upright in the center divider. A blue pickup truck also ended up in the center divider, with a gray four-door sedan on top of the divider wall. Units at the scene identified the vehicles as a blue Nissan Titan and a gray Nissan Rogue, with a blue Toyota Tacoma also listed at the location.
One occupant was reported out of their vehicle near the overturned SUV, and the CHP log noted limited visibility for responders checking on people at the scene. Riverside Fire Department crews responded. The collision was logged as a minor-injury crash, and the agency's log listed one party with injuries. Tow trucks were requested to clear the vehicles, and the lanes were blocked for a time before being reopened.
The crash blocked the HOV lane and at least one additional travel lane for a stretch on Tuesday afternoon before authorities cleared the roadway. The California Highway Patrol has not released further details on what led to the collision, and the cause remains under investigation.
We wish those injured a full recovery.

Frequently Asked Questions
Which vehicles are most prone to rolling over?
Taller, narrower vehicles such as SUVs and pickup trucks have a higher center of gravity, which makes them more likely to tip over during sharp turns or sudden maneuvers compared to lower-profile passenger cars.
Does wearing a seat belt matter in a rollover?
Yes. Seat belts keep occupants in their seats during a rollover, reducing the chance of being thrown against the roof or ejected from the vehicle, which are common causes of serious injury in these crashes.
What is a "tripped" rollover?
A tripped rollover happens when a vehicle's tires hit a curb, soft shoulder, guardrail, or other object that causes it to tip over, rather than rolling from speed or steering alone. Many rollovers on highways start this way after a vehicle leaves its lane.
